Terms Used In Michigan Laws 500.709

  • Liabilities: The aggregate of all debts and other legal obligations of a particular person or legal entity.
  • Reserve: means all items of benefit liability, whether in the nature of incurred claim liability or in the nature of contract liability relating to future periods of coverage, and whether the liability is accrued or unaccrued. See Michigan Laws 500.701
   Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, any generally accepted or reasonable actuarial method or combination of methods may be used to estimate all claim liabilities. The methods used for estimating liabilities generally may be aggregate methods or various reserve items may be separately valued. Approximations based on groupings and averages may also be employed, provided, however, that the adequacy of the claim reserves shall be determined in the aggregate.
